Jude Siciliano, OP

Mini-reflections on the Sunday scripture readings designed for persons on the run. “Faith Book” is also brief enough to be posted in the Sunday parish bulletins people take home.

From today’s Gospel reading:

Jesus said, ...those eighteen people who were killed
when the tower of Siloam fell on them –
do you think they were more guilty
than anyone else who lived in Jerusalem?

Reflection:

Are the misfortunes people who experience a punishment for their sins? Jesus responds, “By no means!” Still, as we have experienced, sin may have dire or fragmentary consequences on our lives, now, or in the not-too distant future.

So, we ask ourselves:

In light of Jesus’ call to consider our lives and repent of our sins, we reflect on sin’s consequences in our lives:

• Are the ill effects of our sins staring us in the face?

• What’s falling apart in our lives? What hurts? Where do we seem stymied in our spiritual journey?
